All right, from the beginning it is. It is not as simple if you start from scratch. However if you have content that you are regularly using for a blog it is pretty easy. Dynamic original content is what will drive traffic.

So if you have good original content it is a mater of learning the system. For me there were three major tools that changed everything.

LinkedIn, Reddit and Google plus. Now Reddit was a personal choice. You can replace that with another social tool, but for me it worked.

However with Reddit you need to invest more time than with LinkedIn and Google plus. Use and other social network if you do not want to spend time learning on Reddit.

Now I know almost everyone hates Google. But it worked like magic and is an important part of bringing everything together.

One of the most frustrating things about life in PRC is the control of the internet. Since Google fell out with the powers to be here it just doesn't function well and Google + is blocked along with Twitter, most popular blogging sites, Facebook and of course Youtube.

The latter I would think should be in every serious social media networkers toolkit, no?

There are of course very popular Chinese alternatives to all the above if the local market is your target audience. Linkedin is currently unblocked and available, thank goodness. It is a great tool for developing business for sure.
